Jeff Molina Fires Back: ‘Fight Fixing Mastermind’ Claims Are Comical After 3-Year Suspension

As far as Jeff Molina is concerned, he’s served his time.

On Tuesday, the Nevada State Athletic Commission slapped Molina with a three-year suspension stemming from his involvement in a 2022 betting scandal in which he wagered on a fight between teammate Darrick Minner and Shayilan Nuerdanbieke at UFC Vegas 64.

It was later discovered that Minner was dealing with an injury that resulted in a dramatic shift in betting lines favoring Nuerdanbieke, who quickly defeated Minner via TKO in the opening round.

The commission later determined that Molina was aware of Minner’s injury, failed to disclose it, and still placed a wager on the contest in question which went down in November 2022.
